DJ Souljah Nippon Hip Hop Power Chart
2014 Top Fiveアルバム
1. ScHoolboy Q – Oxymoron
“ケンドリック・ラマー”で一躍有名となったヒップホップグループ、”ブラック・ヒッピー”のメンバーとしても注目のScHoolboy Q。デビュー・アルバム「オキシモーロン」がめっちゃEast Coastを感じさせる、骨太で格好良くて、今年特に話題となったLAのArtist。
ScHoolboy Q’s debut album “Oxymoron” made a big impact in Hip Hop in 2014. Even though the album has the strong East Coast vibe Q is also a member of West Coast hip hop group Black Hippy, alongside his label-mates and fellow California-based rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar.
2. YG – My Krazy Life
ScHoolboy Qと打って変わって”THE WEST COAST”感 120%で格好良かったのがYGのコチラ。今年のM.V.P. プロデューサーDJ MUSTARDの手腕が光る。そ〜いや、何かこのアルバムの印税の件で2人が揉めてるとか……。
Contrary to rather East sounding ScHoolboy Q, YG’s “My Krazy Life” is 120% down with the West Coast bringing back the sound. Thanks to the great work by this year’s M.V.P. producer DJ Mustard. By the way, you heard these 2 from the better coast are fighting over royalties?
3. Pharrell Williams – Girl
前半に出すと後半に印象が薄れがちになる年間アルバムチャートの中でも忘れてはいけないQualityの高いアルバム。『Happy』は日本でも社会現象に…..。
Don’t sleep on the quality album like this which was dropped in the first half of the year that most people tend to forget. “Happy” became a big phenomenon even in the country like Nippon.
4. D’angelo and the Vanguard – Black Messiah
14年振り…諦めかけてた巨匠の新作が “Soulfulで黒い！”こういうのずっと待ってました。
The first album in 14 years by the legendary D’Angelo, “Black Messiah” is absolutely soulful and black. I have been waiting for this!
